At the Teaching Awards Trust, we know teaching is so much more than just a job. Educators inspire and encourage the next generation every single day and we believe it’s important to celebrate their dedication.

These awards, televised by the BBC are the “Oscars of the teaching profession” and offer you the chance to shine a light on the heroes in your community. By nominating you can give education the recognition it truly deserves, boost morale and highlight the profound impact educators have on learners, colleagues and communities. 

In 2024, the Pearson National Teaching Awards achieved a media reach of 60 million, thanks to media partnerships with BBC’s The One Show, Schools Week, FE Week and The Sunday Times. Your nomination could be part of this incredible celebration of teaching, showcasing their achievements to the nation, highlighting their dedication and inspiring countless others across the country.

Why Your Nomination Matters 

Every nomination lifts up not just an individual but their entire school community. As one past winner said: 

“I don’t think people can underestimate the value of this—not only on a personal level but for your community, for the school, for parents, and of course, for the children.” 

By nominating, you’re helping to acknowledge unsung heroes whose work often goes unnoticed. 

What Makes the Pearson National Teaching Awards Special? 

A Moment in the Spotlight 

The Pearson National Teaching Awards celebrate individuals and teams across 16 categories, from early years to further education. Whether it’s a phenomenal teacher, a dedicated teaching assistant, a behind-the-scenes office star, or a compassionate lunchtime supervisor—everyone matters

This year’s Gold winners at our glittering awards ceremony in London shared incredible stories of innovation, passion, and dedication. From surprise celebrity visits on BBC’s The One Show to emotional moments of celebration, the awards highlighted the profound difference that educators make in their communities. 

Past winners, like David Kershaw, who was honoured for his 60-year career, or Ciara Mulholland, winner of the Outstanding New Teacher as a role model for young scientists, remind us of the diverse and extraordinary achievements within the profession.
